Shlach Lecha: Verse 257
זְמִינָא יְרוּשָׁלַםִ לְאַפָּקָא מַיִין, וּלְנַבְעָא נְבִיעוּ, הָכָא אִית לוֹמַר, סוֹפָא דְּכָל דַּרְגִּין, לָאו אִיהוּ יְרוּשָׁלַם, אֶלָּא וַדַּאי יְרוּשָׁלַםִ וְיוֹמָא הַהוּא כֹּלָּא חַד. מַה בֵּין הַאי לְהַאי. אֶלָּא יְרוּשָׁלַםִ, כָּל דַּרְגִּין קַדִּישִׁין דִּילָהּ, כַּד אִסְתַּחֲרָן, אִקְרוּן יְרוּשָׁלַםִ. וְהָכִי אִתְּחֲמָאן. וְאִית דַּרְגִּין דְּסַחֲרָן, וְאִקְרוּן עֲזָרוֹת, אִלֵּין פְּנִימָאִין, וְאִלֵּין לְבַר. וְאִית דַּרְגִּין דְּאִקְרוּן כַּד אִסְתַּחֲרָן, לְשָׁכוֹת. וְאִית דַּרְגִּין דְּאִקְרוּן כַּד אִסְתַּחֲרָן. הֵיכָל וּדְבִיר. לְגוֹ מִכָּל אִינּוּן דַּרְגִּין, אִית חַד נְקוּדָה, כְּבוּדָּה בַת מֶלֶךְ פְּנִימָה. נְקוּדָה דָּא, אִקְרֵי יוֹם הַהוּא, וְסִימָנִיךְ הַהוּא יִקָּרֵא אֶרֶץ.
Jerusalem is destined to produce water and to become a flowing spring. Here it would be possible to say that the end of all steps, REFERRED TO BY HAHU, is not Jerusalem. However, Jerusalem and "that day" are most certainly all one, SINCE BOTH ARE MALCHUT. What is the difference between them? It is only that when Jerusalem is surrounded by all her holy steps it is called Jerusalem. That is the way they appear. There are steps that surround, called the Temple courts. These are inner and some SURROUND IT from outside. There are steps FURTHER WITHIN, which when they surround, are called chambers. There are steps which when they surround, are called the temple and the sanctuary. At the innermost of all these steps, there is one point: "The king's daughter is all glorious within" (Tehilim 45:14). That point is called "that day." This is derived from "which (Heb. hahu) was called the land" (Devarim 3:13). THAT IS, MALCHUT IS CALLED LAND, BUT JUST HER HIDDEN POINT.
Shlach Lecha: Verse 261
ת"ח, תְּחוֹת עִגּוּלָא דְּאִינּוּן שְׂבָכִין, דְּתַמָּן בְּאִינּוּן מַיִין דְּהַהוּא נְבִיעוּ דְּמַעְיָינָא, אִתְרְשִׁים נְבִיעוּ חַד, וְאִתְפָּשַּׁט וְנָפִיק לְבַר, וְעָאל גּוֹ יַמָּא רַבָּא. וְרָשִׁים בֵּיהּ אָרְחָא בְּלִבָּא דְּיַמָּא, וּמִינֵּיהּ שָׁתֵי לִוְיָתָן, וְרַוֵּי, וְחַדֵּי, וְאִתְרַבֵּי בְּרִבּוּיָיא. וְכַד נָפִיק נְבִיעוּ אַחֲרָא, הַהוּא נְבִיעוּ אִתְפְּשָׁט וְאָזִיל בִּטְמִירוּ, תְּחוֹת תְּהוֹמָא, לְגוֹ יַמָּא בַּתְרָאָה. וְכֹל אִינּוּן מַיִם זֵדוֹנִים, וּמַיִין תַּקִּיפִין, מָאִיךְ לוֹן, וְכָפִיף לוֹן, דְּלָא יִפְּקוּן לְחַבְּלָא בְּנֵי עָלְמָא. וְסִימָן הַנּוֹתֵן בַּיָּם דָּרֶךְ וּבַמַּיִם עַזִּים נְתִיבָה.
HE NOW RETURNS TO EXPLAIN IN ANOTHER MANNER AND IN OTHER WORDS, THE WORDS IN THE VERSE: "HALF OF THEM TOWARDS THE PRIMORDIAL SEA." Come and see, Under the ring of those networks that exist there. In these waters of the flowing spring THAT EXIST THERE, there is one distinct spring that expands and flows out and enters the great sea. It delineates in it a path to the heart of the sea. From it, the Leviathan drinks until he is happily satiated, and grows and enlarges greatly. THAT IS THE SECRET OF "HALF OF THEM TOWARDS THE PRIMORDIAL SEA," MEANING TO THE HEART OF THE SEA. When another spring flows out, that spring continues to expand secretly under the depths, into the last sea, THAT IS MALCHUT THAT IS HIDDEN. All these harsh and maligning waters it pushes and forces down, so they would not be able to harm the inhabitants of the world. This is derived from the verse: "Who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters" (Yeshayah 43:16), NAMELY IN THE LAST SEA.
